Go to compare roof-tile types and try laying 18th-century tiles at the museum's practice roof.

Go to see the former post station alongside displays of everyday objects from Adelsö’s farming and household history.


Ranked by the Herald score: recognition (guides, heritage, visitor numbers, the tourism boards), interest from abroad (English Wikipedia), what Sweden Herald readers rate and read, how recently the facts were checked, and the editors. Nothing a place pays changes its place in the list.
We do not have enough reader ratings for these places yet, so for now the order rests on the outside signs and on how much the world looks for each place. Ratings will count once readers have given them.
